My name is Chris Brooks and I am a first-year allergy/immunology fellow at The Ohio State University/Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. Professional and academic organizations such as the ACAAI accelerate research discoveries and then promote dissemination of cutting-edge science to clinicians, drive innovative and quality healthcare for patients by promoting best practices and patient education, cultivate practice environments that promote physician wellness, and work to inspire the next generation of allergists/immunologists. Fellows are in a unique position, often working in academic medical centers on the front lines of research and innovative patient care. They also have unique responsibilities and needs as they balance patient care, their own education and research, and personal responsibilities outside of medicine. Fellows deserve strong representation within our professional organizations to advocate for our interests, both as fellows and for our future careers.
My experience in committees and professional organizations throughout my academic career prepares me well to be your junior representative. From my experience as high school class president to my involvement in an American Medical Association committee during medical school to recent membership in our residency program’s education evaluation committee, I am confident I would best serve the interests of allergy/immunology fellows nationwide. I would work hard through my collaborative and driven style of representation and leadership to promote the best interests of fellows-in-training, patients, and the entire allergy/immunology community to better the field and practice of allergy/immunology, both for the present and for the future.

Sustaining wellness, combating burnout, and working to be the most competent and compassionate physicians that we always set out to be have been key focus areas in several of my early leadership roles. These equally paramount pursuits once again takes center stage as I transitioned into fellowship training this past July. Naturally, I was excited to read in our recently disseminated Annals of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, that the ACAAI launched an internal Physician Wellness Taskforce back in 2016 to tackle this head on. Comforting as it was to read their reported survey results showing practicing allergists and fellows-in-training (FITs) reported lower levels of burnout and depersonalization than the collective general health services population, the data is clear that we have not developed immunity. I hope to learn more about sustaining initiatives and partner in future endeavors in the capacity of representing fellows across the ACAAI training platforms as the Junior Fellow-in-Training Representative to the Board of Regents.
I experienced the excitement, anxiety, successes, and failures in my preceding 12 years as a practicing pediatrician. I recall working through the transition from trainee role, challenging in and of itself yet balanced with having a safety net (attending) above me, to that of staff physician. There was nothing inherently different in terms of who I was on July 1, 2008 than who I was on June 30, yet there I was – no longer presenting my patients or sending notes for co-signatures or propping myself up with the “I’ll run this by my attending” crutch. Thanks to incredible support, both at home and in the office, I not only survived but thrived through the transition. Unfortunately, that was not the case for everyone coming out of training and I saw a handful of amazing residents struggle mightily in those early staff years - some even to point of exhaustion and finding it necessary to step away from the profession. I hope to bring these experience to the FIT leadership position and be a source of support for my newest colleagues.
As an active duty physician in the US Navy, I have been afforded opportunities early in my career that I might not otherwise have leaned into. Though there is no I could pass on the opportunity for the Navy to train me in allergy/immunology, I readily acknowledge that along with my good fortune came the realization that I was stepping away from the best job of my career to date. I have spent the preceding six years as department of pediatrics faculty at the Uniformed Services University in Bethesda, MD. The last three of which I was the clerkship director working with over 170 students per clerkship year, including pivoting in the face of Sars-CoV-2. I am passionate about learning and teaching. For the past two years, I also assumed the role of Assistant Director of Medical Education at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center – a Department of Defense medical training site with 63 ACGME accredited training programs and 700+ interns/residents/fellows. This dual role in education and training was a phenomenal experience for me and I grew immensely as I learned from key leaders around the university and Walter Reed. I hope to parlay those lessons learned on behalf of FITs to ensure we all thrive through our transition to practicing allergists/immunologists. I will very much enjoy these next two years back in training. I have already begun relishing my opportunities to present my patient to my attendings --- nerves and all back just as I remember them! I am also approaching this late-stage training opportunity with a changed vantage point from my residency days – not necessary better but certainly different. My 5 co-fellows in our program (3 other PGY-4 and 2 PGY-5) are outstanding and collectively we have already benefitted from our unique experiences. I can only imagine what each of you bring the table, and I hope I get a front row seat sharing our collective voices as your junior FIT representative.

To: whom it may concern I am Abeer Siddiqi, current Allergy Immunology Fellow at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. I wish to serve in the roll of National Representative to be able to advocate for the field of Allergy Immunology and for my patients and colleagues at large. We currently are in unprecedented and unpredictable times, now more than ever we need to highlight the importance of Immunology as the core of disease process and advocate for both our adult and pediatric patients. There is also an urgent need for innovation in the field of medicine at large, with families under quarantine and children being home schooled, we need to adapt our practice to medicine to reach out to all the families while they are at home. Most importantly, this opportunity will allow me to collaborate with many of the young trainees across the country and the globe to take new initiatives. Thank you, Abeer
